- Circuit design, cable sizing, protection, containment, earthing and bonding
- Energy centres, packaged plantrooms and low-carbon heat projects
- BIM coordination, offsite manufacture and installation-ready design
- Public and private sector schemes across commercial estates, healthcare, education, data centres and decarbonisation projects
You’ll likely be a Principal Electrical Design Engineer or a strong Senior Electrical Design Engineer ready to step into a more strategic technical role.
- Strong electrical building services design experience
- LV distribution, load calculations, cable sizing and protection knowledge
- Understanding of DNO upgrades, compliance and electrical regulations
- Confidence coordinating with mechanical, BIM, manufacturing and site teams
- Ability to mentor junior engineers and lead electrical technical quality
You’ll be designing electrical systems that support real-world low-carbon infrastructure, modular MEP delivery and complex plantroom environments.
You’ll work closely with mechanical, BIM, manufacturing and project teams, making sure designs are not just compliant, but buildable, coordinated and ready for delivery.
If you want an electrical design role with real technical ownership and visible impact, this could be a great next move.
